James: Living Out Loud

Studies in Practical Christianity

"Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says." - James 1v 22

The book of James is often considered to be the most practical book in the Bible. Apart from the logical lessons of the Proverbs and, of course, the unavoidable challenges we find in the Sermon on the Mount that is probably true!

The aim of this series is to highlight this practical Christian teaching and the need to "Live it out Loud" personally and within our corporate context. We are to aim for all that God intends us to be; not by merely verbalising a creed, or looking back to law, but by expressing a radical, counter cultural Christ-life that defies the wisdom and ways of this world.

Here are the studies, along with MP3's of each sermon.
